This is the weekly "sale watch" post, to help each other find sale
items at our
various local J.Crew stores. ;)

If
you are stopping
by a J.Crew store this weekend to see
what's available (if
anything!) in theSALE, or to see some NEW ARRIVALS {sigh!} in
person, maybe you might be
willing to share that with us in this
post. In particular, if you could
share with us a few of the
noteworthy items that are available, at
what prices, and potential sizes
the store is carrying (as well
as the store location)- that would be
fantastic!

Also,
please let us know if your local store is
carrying an additional percent
off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)

P.S.
I noticed that many of
you have already been reporting sale
items (and in which stores) in
other posts which by the way "thank
you!" :) I really appreciate how
helpful we are for each other!

This is the weekly "Help Style Me!" post, where we can share items we are having trouble putting outfits together with. Elaine (in this
post) says it best, "You know, that thing you
bought because you love it and you keep pulling it
out and then putting it away without wearing it?"

Please
share your J.Crew item (either that you own or
are thinking about getting) that you would love help
creating an outfit with.

Also,
please help out by offering your styling advice. Feel
free to include links to your blog (where you
incorporated that piece) or to Polyvore (where you
showcased an outfit with that piece). Thanks in advance!
:)

and in stores (prices are as shown) as well as an additional 15% off with promo code EXTRA15. This offer expires May 28, 2015.
The fine print includes:

*Prices as marked reflect discount. Offer valid at jcrewfactory.com from May 27, 2015, 12:01am ET through May 28, 2015, 11:59pm ET.

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know about the following promotion this morning.

J.Crew is offering customers to take an extra 30% off select regular priced items and all sale with promo code WEEKEND.
The offer expires May 26, 2015. The fine print includes:

*30% discount valid on the purchase of items marked "30% off with code WEEKEND" at jcrew.com from May 22, 2015, 12:01am ET through May 26, 2015, 11:59pm ET. Offer not valid in J.Crew or J.Crew Factory stores; at jcrewfactory.com; or on phone orders. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash or combined with any other offer. To redeem, enter code WEEKEND in the promo code box at checkout. Limit one promotional code per order. Offer valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change.

This is a great promotion if the full priced item you were interested in is eligible. Otherwise, B&M stores are offering an additional 50% off sale. They have the better deal.

Will you be taking advantage of this promotion? What item are you hoping to pick up? Please share!

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know about the following promotion this morning.

Madewell is offering customers to take an extra 30% off sale with promo code SWEET.
The offer expires May 26, 2015. The fine print includes:

Offer valid on the purchase of sale items in Madewell stores and at madewell.com from May 22, 2015, 12:01am ET through May 26, 2015, 11:59pm ET. Offer not valid on phone orders. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash or used in combination with any other offer. In-store discount automatically taken at the register. To redeem online, enter code SWEET in the promo code box at checkout. Limit one promotional code per order. Offer valid in the U.S. only. Terms of offer are subject to change.

Make sure you double check the sale item page to see if the item is marked as "Final Sale" or not. Some sale items are and others are not. It is easy to overlook this and then get stuck with an item.

B&M stores were offering an additional 20% off sale, so it is nice
to see it jump back to 30% off. They also have some items lower priced
in stores than online. For example, the Cutout Sundress in Stripe (item C0619; $148.00) is on sale online for $99.99 and in stores for $89.99. By the way, I own this dress and it is gorgeous! I know the cutouts on the sides are not for everyone, but if you were a white tank underneath, it actually looks like part of the dress' design.

Lastly, Madewell is also offering 60 days of Spotify Premium. This offer expires June 28, 2015.

"Thanks!" to many of you,who let us know about the following promotion.

J.Crew is offering customers to take an extra 50% offon sale items in their brick & mortar (B&M) stores. The offer expires May 25, 2015. The fine print includes:

*Offer valid on the purchase of sale items in J.Crew stores from May 21, 2015, through May 25, 2015. Offer not valid in the 769 Madison Avenue store, Liquor Store, Ludlow Shops or J.Crew Factory stores; at jcrew.com or jcrewfactory.com; or on phone orders. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash or combined with any other offer. Discount automatically taken at the register. Offer valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change.

As many of you have noticed and mentioned this week, J.Crew stores already were offering this promotion. It is nice to know that it will continue through the weekend.

I was in my local B&M store the other day and the sale section was overflowing with merchandise. Unfortunately, it was not moving even at an additional 50% off. It was kind of sad. It's probably time to drop the starting sale prices some more...

I do hope this promotion extends to online as well. (I know it won't, but it really should.)

Will you be taking advantage of this promotion at J.Crew? What item are you hoping to pick up? Please share!

Offer not valid in J.Crew stores, at jcrew.com or on phone orders. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash. In-store offer may only be combined with the mystery scratch-off offer. Offer not valid on third-party branded merchandise. In-store discount automatically taken at the register. Offer valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change.

If you live near a B&M store, they are also offering a mystery offer at the cash register. Customers can get an offer of $10, $20, $50 or $100 off an order.

I am not going to lie, I ended up buying too much with this offer. The prices seem pretty good (even without any additional percent off promotion). I picked up a few dresses (including the Factory Striped Basketweave Dress, item C4998, shown above), a few sandals, and even a coat. Let's hope they are just as lovely in person!

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know that J.Crew had an update to its website (click here to view online).

There are some new arrivals for men(click here) & women (click here). {wahoo!} It looks like Crewcuts (click here) has been updated, as did the J.Crew Collection (click here).

The MAYcatalog (click here to view) is still up. However, the latest JUNE catalog is not. As mentioned by several JCAs, J.Crew posted several images of the newest catalog over at Pinterest (click here to view).

J.Crew is offering an additional (1) 25% off your order with promo code SUMMERLOVE, and (2) 30% off for cardmembers with promo code CARDLOVE & your J.Crew Card. This offer expires May 21, 2015. J.Crew is also offering free shipping on all orders placed today!!!

brick & mortar stores are still offering an additional 40%, if not 50% off sale. So I am hoping that offer sticks around and not reduced to 30%...

Will you be taking advantage of this promotion? What item are you hoping to pick up? Please share!

"Thanks!" to many of you, who shared the following news/email from J.Crew Factory with us.

J.Crew Factory is offering a sneak peek at the latest arrivals with
prices up to 40% off! They are also throwing in free shipping
(no min!). If you are a cardmember, you can get an extra 20% off with code MYCARD. These offers are just for today! So check your email to
see if you got the invite.

At first I did not think much of this rollout... but then I found a lot of things I thought are super pretty! I can't wait to see them in person. Fingers crossed that they are just as lovely in person!

Have you received this email? Will you be taking advantage of this
promotion? Any items you are interested in? If so, please share!

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know about the following promotion this morning.

J.Crew is offering customers to take an extra 40-50% off sale items with promo code GETSHOPPING.
The offer expires May 13, 2015. The fine print includes:

*40% discount valid on the purchase of sale items in J.Crew stores and at jcrew.com on May 13, 2015, 12:01am ET through 11:59pm ET. In-store discount as advertised. Online discount valid on sale items marked "Extra 40% off with code GETSHOPPING." Offer not valid in the 769 Madison Avenue store, Liquor Store, Ludlow Shops or J.Crew Factory stores; at jcrewfactory.com; or on phone orders. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash or combined with any other offer. In-store discount automatically taken at the register. To redeem online, enter code GETSHOPPING in the promo code box at checkout. Limit one promotional code per order. Offer valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change.

What is exciting about this is that there are over 150 new styles added to the sale section. Wahoo!

Most
brick & mortar stores were already offering an additional 40%, if not 50% off sale. So I am hoping that offer sticks around...

Will you be taking advantage of this promotion? What item are you hoping to pick up? Please share!

A big "thanks!" to JRSConifer & cate (in this post) who shared the following news with us:
J.Crew is offering customers a card for $20 off purchases of $100+ in stores. This offer is available through July 4th.

J.Crew does not offer coupons very often, so I am pleasantly surprised
about this. It doesn't hurt that it is a pretty nice offer too! I believe that it is stackable with other offers.

Make sure you double check your in-store purchase to see if you got a coupon too!

posts), where we can share our finds from other
retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew

I like to start by stating that I am very thankful for the educator and student discounts at J.Crew. It is a great incentive to shop with our favorite retailer.

I know the application (and explanation) of the student/ educator discount has varied over
the years. The recent being that promotional items or universal promotions (for example, an additional 25% off everything) are not eligible, but specific promotions (for example, an additional 30% off sale) are eligible. Of
course, full priced merchandise are eligible for the discount as well.

However, JCAs have been hearing and experiencing different situations at J.Crew. The following are a few examples of the feedback received when trying to use the discount:

"Thanks!" to Gretchen, who shared the following response from a J.Crew associate via email about J.Crew's student/ educator discount:

...Our student/teacher discount isn't usually applied to purchases that already have discounts or promotions applied. Because store exceptions are at the manager's discretion, additional savings are dependant on their approval. I apologize for this inconsistency, but we need to maintain a base level discount for our customers and are unable to freely apply as many discounts as possible, though eligible. Any additional savings received will be at the store managers discretion as individual stores have unique promotions and discounts week by week that we're unable to apply to online orders--this is also why the student/teacher discount is only eligible in-store. I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause. Feel free to contact us with any future questions or concerns--we're always available by phone or email...

"Thanks!" to cagliari67 (in this post), who shared last Thursday the following:

...Have not been into a regular JC since the Discountgate episodes of 3 weeks ago. Still getting emails regarding this from JC central and from local managers. Policy still seems inconsistent. Apparently retail JCs here will no longer stack the educator discount with ANY other promo, including the extra % off sale. However the Factory stores are blithely carrying on, offering it on everything and promoting it verbally to everyone as they arrive. ...

"Thanks!" to math teacher (in this post), who shared last Thursday the following:

...My PS told me months ago that the teacher discount now only applied to full price items or items with a dollar amount discount. I appreciate that JC offers the discount, I just wish they would decide on a policy and stick with it. And that all b&m's would follow through. I emailed JC about some things (my PS has been asking me to email my complaints since they listen to us more than them) and I addressed this. I was told "As far as our student/teacher discount, this hasn’t changed - it’s still 15% off your entire order. If there’s another promotion going on like the current promotion TIMETOSHOP for 30% off full priced styles, we cannot combine the two. The only other time this discount cannot be applied is if it’s a branded partnership item or a wedding item." ...

It seems that J.Crew
is changing the parameters of the student/ educator discount again.

If
you have shopped recently (in the past week) at a J.Crew store, please
let us know if you were able to apply your student/ educator discount.

Did you know about this change? What are your thoughts on this latest change? Will this have an impact on your future purchases?
